    Hey Everyone!! a heads up:
    Not All Tokyo Lens Explore LIVESTREAMS will be posted after wrapping up. Make sure to turn on all notifications for this channel so you never miss a stream!! See you all, real soon~

      To everyone checking please note: This stream will be at 5AM Japan time.
      ​in the bottom left of the screen you can see it says Premieres in x hours and you can set a reminder.

      Oh no, Norm, why do you not post all the livestreams after wrapping up? we can sadly not make it to all of your livestreams because of the different time zones etc, but a lot of us still enjoy seeing your awesomeness post stream. nevertheless, keep it up with your great work ( ̄▽ ̄)

    Man I miss Kagoshima! Due to the big typhoon back in 2018, we ended up in Kagoshima instead of Okinawa for a few days.
    We managed to arrive at the big Jazzfestival held every year and had a blast. bumped into the father of one of the founders of the festival, and he and his wife dragged us around the city to the best performances.
    To us, Kagoshima was one of the highlights of our trip, and we enjoyed it more than Tokyo and Kyoto.
    So thanks for sharing this, so we can reminiscence, and that hopefully more foreign visitors go down south and experience Kagoshima.

    Finally got a chance to watch the video! Awesome as always Norm. It took me right back to my honeymoon in 2018. We spent a day in Kagoshima and on Sakurajima. It was so peaceful just walking around the island getting to see the volcano. I even got a photo of the submarine!

    Thank you so much for this video. It was so cool, Mitch is a big star and knows so much about the area.
    I definitely don’t mind if the video is 720 or 4k, as watching on the phones it does not make a big difference, and the life chat is fun.

    Since I can't get a visa atm, I appreciate the walking streams as this is what I used to do a lot as well - just have a general direction for a location and then I went on my own paths, almost no main roads

    • @yami2227
      @yami2227 3 роки тому

      I doubt something like this would happen but if you ever need a tour or a list of the good spots in Yamanashi, I am up for helping ya. It would be cool to see the reaction of everyone in the comments to many of the spots I visited and know to be very amazing.

    • @yami2227
      @yami2227 3 роки тому

      For exmaple, I am good friends with a tea ceremony master and he can introduce you to the tea ceremony community of Yamanashi. I think something like that can be a good thing to flim. I can also introduce you to a Shugendo practitioner, a yamabushi that lives in Kawaguchiko.
      So yea, I've used my time there to talk and meet interesting people xD
      Also, one of my former teachers (an American living in Japan for over 30 years probably) has a lot of acquaintances and friends tied with Japanese culture.

    Always wanted to go back but never got the chance, since other parts of Japan came first XD and then the world turned to s***~~

I love to be that way when I am hanging out with friends. The way he explains even the hydraulics for the docking arm in the port, I love little details like those!
